Rapid loss, and slow recovery, of coral reef structural complexity resulting from a prolonged marine heatwave

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 11, Page 2277-2291, November 2026.
Using Structure‐from‐Motion photogrammetry in a longitudinal study, we show that although coral reef habitat complexity had declined significantly by the end of the most prolonged tropical marine heatwave on record, no further losses were detected and 3 years later the reef had begun to recover this critical ecosystem function.

Eelgrass Distribution in the Great Bay Estuary for 2012 [PDF]

, 2012
Eelgrass in the Great Bay Estuary declined in both distribution and biomass between 2011 and 2012, continuing the long-term trend of eelgrass loss. In 2012, eelgrass was once again mainly present in the Great Bay itself with limited distribution in ...

Spatial and Temporal Variation of C, N, and S Stable Isotopes and Seagrass Coverage Related to Eutrophication Stress in Zostera marina

Coasts
Zostera marina is an ecologically valuable species that has been declining due to anthropogenic environmental stressors. In this study, spatial and temporal indicators of eelgrass stress, such as coverage and biomass, were compared with the isotopic ...

Early life history of the Korean seahorse, Hippocampus haema: Evidence for direct settlement and ontogenetic shifts in snout morphology

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 2116-2129, October 2026.
Abstract Early life‐history traits of seahorses are closely linked to juvenile survival, dispersal potential and the onset of substrate attachment; however, detailed stage‐resolved descriptions remain limited for many Hippocampus species. This study examined reproductive behaviour and early ontogenetic development of the Korean seahorse, Hippocampus ...

River Eelgrass Detection using Very High-Resolution Satellite Imagery

, 2022
River eelgrass has a vital role in the coastal ecosystem, which can be threatened by human activities and climate change. Accurate mapping of eelgrass habitats is important for sustainable eelgrass conservation and management.

Dive surveys and eDNA detect contrasting macroalgal community composition in Nova Scotia, Canada

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1510-1524, October 2026.
Abstract Morphological identification of macroalgae can be time‐consuming and species may be difficult to observe, collect, or identify, preventing detailed study on the distribution and ecology of many species. The use of eDNA in species surveillance and biodiversity assessments has gained considerable traction in studying macroalgae, as it provides ...

Microbial communities on eelgrass (Zostera marina) thriving in Tokyo Bay and the possible source of leaf-attached microbes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Zostera marina (eelgrass) is classified as one of the marine angiosperms and is widely distributed throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere. The present study investigated the microbial community structure and diversity of Z.

Two eDNA Assays to Detect the Sympatric Seahorses Hippocampus hippocampus and Hippocampus guttulatus During Their Northward Range Shifts

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Small and well camouflaged fish are difficult to monitor, but they do release DNA into the water (1). These assays allow for targeted monitoring of two European seahorses of conservation concern, using two primers and probe pairs with high specificity (2) and proven detections from the field (3).
